Men with the highest one-third hair mercury content—2 mcg of mercury per gram of hair or higher—were 38% more likely to die during an average follow-up of 13.9 years compared with men in the lower two-thirds according to a study from Finland which followed 1871 Finnish men aged 42 to 60 years free of previous coronary heart disease or stroke at baseline.
